ABOUT
Mainly mandolin these days - can sightread and read notation.
Have played around the UK and Europe. Also have played lead guitar &/or electric bass for several musicals.
Violin player from 4 yrs, and recently picked it up again.
I also teach to play for a living.
I gig a lot for local bands, barn dances, solo stuff etc.
